Alzheimers and sexual behavior: Any suggestions?

My husband has MCI, just far enough along that intimacy is kind of rote, and just not enticing. Being a good partner is just not in his wheelhouse any longer so I am not as interested. He would like to be intimate much more often than I and when I give in unexpectedly, against my better judgement, he sometimes will throw it back in my face and sabotage the moment. So foolish. We end up fighting and with him saying we just aren’t the same anymore…blah, blah, blah, quite an understatement, and again another time that I can’t say my truth because we have to pretend that they’re always right and we are always in the wrong. Such a twisted way to live.

@lkbous I heard a trainer speak recently about the difference between Intimacy and Sexuality. Will try to find and share.

@lkbous .No, you don’t have to be “wrong.” I have the same problem, but he sleeps much more than I, so I just stay up later.
